Review of Ruthless People (1986) by Dave Kehr for Chicago Reader — 24 Jul 1991
Jim Abrahams, David Zucker, and Jerry Zucker, the directors of the smash Airplane! and the underrated Top Secret!, here turn their hands to a more traditional character comedy, yet this film's funniest effects still come through their imaginative, frequently astonishing manipulations of the narrative line.
It's a rare kind of craftsmanship, and it produces a rare kind of pleasure.
